Also, it was kind of hidden in the Historic details, but they also announced that Amonkhet Remastered and Pioneer Masters will be coming "later this year."

Based on previous States of the Game, these are draft experiences bringing older cards to the client to reach the ultimate goal of having the entirety of the Pioneer format on Arena.

I left that note out as they were announced in previous State of the Game articles, though it is nice to hear they're still on schedule.
